Meadowbrook Middle School has been such a positive experience for our family. The teachers are…read moretruly passionate and know how to ignite a genuine love of learning in their students. Because the school is small enough for teachers and staff to really know each child as a person, kids feel supported, encouraged, and seen every day. The leadership team is thoughtful, competent, and deeply committed to both academics and student well-being. There's also a strong sense of community among families, teachers, and students that makes Meadowbrook feel welcoming and connected. Most importantly, students leave Meadowbrook confident, well-prepared, and ready for the next step into high school. We're incredibly grateful for this school and highly recommend it.

Our experience at Meadowbrook Middle School left me with serious concerns about communication,…read morefollow-through, and the integrity of leadership. My son experienced issues that required repeated parent advocacy, including bullying-related concerns and an incident where his belongings were damaged. What bothered me most was not just the incidents themselves, but how hard I had to push to get clear answers, accountability, and follow-through. When administrators and adult staff are involved, families should be able to trust that concerns are handled honestly, documented properly, and followed up on without parents having to repeatedly escalate. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. One of my biggest concerns was the lack of honesty and consistency in communication with students. There were situations where adult staff told my son one thing, but when I followed up as the parent, the explanation changed or the responsibility was shifted back onto the student. That is extremely frustrating because children are already at a disadvantage when speaking up to adults in authority. Adults should not be able to rely on their position to avoid accountability or assume a student's word will matter less. There were individual staff members who tried to help, and I do appreciate that. But the overall system did not feel dependable. My biggest disappointment is with the leadership culture and the lack of accountability when parents raise serious concerns in good faith. Parents should not have to fight this hard to make sure their child is safe, seen, and fairly supported.

Public school system is not for everyone! We were lucky to…read morehave found this school as we have looked at numerous other private schools for our 11yo son. We came across Futures and as soon as we walked in we got THE FEELING that this was it. They were very welcoming upon arrival and to this day it is still welcoming for my child and myself. The teachers and staff communicate with me every day. My child has/had an IEP and other learning disabilities that the public school system could not handle and my child was getting lost in the numbers and falling further behind. Futures staff/teachers are/have been working diligently with my child to get him caught up while also increasing his self esteem and self confidence. The 1:1 specialized teaching is amazing and saved my sanity as well as my sons'! Their activities and field trips are fun for the kids. I couldn't be more grateful for everyone there.

Performing Arts Center review. I recently attended a student…read moreperformance at their Performing Arts Center. When viewing the campus map online it appeared much larger and much more confusing than it actually was. The PA Center was immediately to my left as I pulled onto campus, very easy to find and parking was extremely close too! I also viewed the theater seating chart online to pick my seat. I really loved that it showed me which seats would have a blocked view, encouraging me to pick another one. The theater seemed much larger online than it actually was. So when I chose a front row seat, I had no idea I would be "kick up my feet onto the stage" close. It was still a great seat and I could see the entire performance. The acoustics were good as was the lighting. They could definitely use another bathroom, one is not enough!

They have a bully culture that goes unchecked by staff. If you have an issue the principles shrug…read moretheir shoulders and say there's nothing they can do. Even when you request a meeting with the other party's parents and the school, the school declines and allows the behavior. Not a very welcoming learning environment. If other students call your child a racial slur nothing is done. This is ONE OF the earliest environments these children should learn what is socially, ethically, and morally acceptable because obviously they are not learning this at home. To not hold children accountable for their actions is enabling them to continue the deplorable behavior. In addition the school is saying they agree and encourage the behavior by doing nothing to punish or prevent this behavior.

any reviews before 2020 are extremely outdated and do not apply at all…read more also a lot of the reviews are done by parents of students. students that actually experienced this place should review it. this place is trash. I got horribly bullied. called names, cursed out and called a variety of slurs on the regular, so much so that I had to change my name. I also got assaulted and inappropriately touched often. all authority figures at the school did nothing to stop all of this. I'm not hyperbolizing. I went into this school a happy kid, thinking the world is great and everyone has something good in them. I left with a horrible anxiety disorder, plenty of trauma, and probably other stuff I haven't even discovered. I highly recommend sending your kids anywhere but here. I've heard Farb middle is okay, and its less than a mile from De Portola. the free food and slightly better teachers are not worth the horrible people at the school. before 8th grade promotion we were told to fill out a little form about our experience. I was brutally honest and it blew their minds. I just wanna say that I did everything right during middle school. when there was a problem I tried to fix it, brought it to adults, and did everything I could to try and make it stop. but instead of keeping me safe. the teachers and principal and all the adults were focused on how punishment would affect the aggressors. I had such a horrible experience here that in my 9th grade year I wrote a 7 page narrative essay BRIEFLY summarizing everything that happened. the teacher read it and wanted to talk to me. all of this is disorganized thoughts and stories bout this place. but what I'm trying to say is that you should avoid this place. also. thank you to Mr Labrador for teaching me to be strong and refuse to take crap. thank you to Mrs Hudson for trying your best to help me. Thank you to Mr White for giving me a safe space to hide away, Thank you Mrs Maria of the YMCA for helping me return to therapy and helping me do better. and F you Jaramillo for letting this happen.

I mean it's not a bad school, and most people are nice but the counselors take sides, how? One time…read moremy friends had a problem with this one girl (not me I didn't know her well) so they took it to the counselor, and the girl kept harassing and trying to talk to them even after the counseling, and so they kept going, and this one counselor told the girls that were being harassed that the girl harassing them was a growing girl, and that they are being tattletales. The ASB activities aren't as fun as you would think since they kinda make it for kids coming into 6th grade, but overall this school is okay with it's teaching just not the counselors. (Besides Ms. Hope, she's amazing, p.s everyone is chopped...)

Not a bad school per se but as a student there it could be better, bullying is a huge topic yet it…read moreis barely punished, councillors do nothing at all but just make your problems worse, for example, I talked about my abuse experience by my dad and she quite literally disregarded it and made dumb excuses, and there was a bomb threat but the staff decided to not tell anyone (the students) what was happening and told them to stay inside the classroom, which makes students more stressed because they don't know what's happening, the school doesn't do shit to take care of the problems on campus, the dress code is WAY to sexist and hasn't been updated in years. A 7th grade science teacher last year harassed students and I could see that happening as he was paying more attention to the tables with girls that ones with primarily boys, and the school doesn't nothing to take care of the problems on campus.

They offer homework assistance before school every morning in the library starting at 8 am. My son doesn't utilize it, but I'm sure if he needed to we would. He's been able to maintain an A average all year. His teachers are great. I love that they all embrace technology in the classroom, a marked improvement from elementary school. I especially love his speech and language therapist, she is just fantastic. She made the transition so smooth for him. I wish everyone had her excitement and passion for work. She is a great asset to this district. I know his life and time at Parkway Middle School is vastly improved for having her in it. Rather than focusing on past issues I have had with the district, I would just like to say that my experience with this school has been much more positive and I feel that my son has definitely experienced a better environment over here. I've also witnessed how they deal with behavior issues while on campus picking my son up for appointments. I was pleased with the approach; it was firm, fair and consistent.
